Ty & Eric post up on a washed up craft brewery patio to clink glasses and think like asses. They discuss the allure of fishing in the attention economy, Matty Matheson’s delicious master plan to make us all fat and jolly, infusion-focused cooking concept stores, the newest ventures of Chef Pino, and the gentrification of murals, bike lanes, and murals of bike lanes.

Introduction and Setting
00:00:50
Think Fresh
And we are live right as trucks go by. The wind is blowing. Ty and Eric are on a patio. Brewski in here. Oh, can I get a clink on that? Cheers. Cheers, man.
00:01:04
Think Fresh
Yeah, the wind is crying Mary over here in beautiful Vancouver. Downtown Eastside, sunny day. Yeah, we're sitting at a patio for the illustrious eep company.
00:01:18
Think Fresh
And um yeah, it's quite nice. Nice little breeze. If you hear the wind picking up in our sails, then we apologize. We're just potting al fresco today. Dude, I love an al fresco patio, if you will. It's a patio beer.
00:01:31
Think Fresh
Potio day. I feel a little on edge though recording with you. I keep looking left, looking right. We're on a bicycle artery road. You can hear the clinks and the chains going by.
Musical Coincidence and Local Art
00:01:41
Think Fresh
i don't want to get hit.
00:01:42
Think Fresh
yeah I don't want people asking me why there's a big girthy black microphone in front of me. I won't ask you. um But i don't know if you noticed, Ty, but the song that's playing is The Wind Cries Mary.
00:01:54
Think Fresh
Is it? Yeah. By Jimi Hendrix, which is the shirt I'm wearing. Wow, dude. So many connections. You are wearing a Jimi Hendrix shirt. I didn't realize you were a hindi head. Oh, yeah, dude. Future Hendrix, Jimi Hendrix. I like them all. Hell yeah.
00:02:08
Think Fresh
Oh, It's funny because lots of bikes are going by and Every single bike does a long gaze at every single one of these beautiful patio tables. They're like, fuck, I got to stop. Well, when you see a couple lads drinking a beer on a patio, all the girls want to be with you and the guys want to be you Let me tell you, you're living the dream.
00:02:27
Think Fresh
Yeah, you're absolutely right about that, Ty. um What do you think of the mural behind you? Because i every time I sit here, I look at it and I'm thinking like, what kind of fucking...
New Restaurant Opening in North Burnaby
00:02:37
Think Fresh
zoo animal bullshit is this okay so i'm going to describe the mural that you're uh pointing out to the bread heads what i see is a gigantic brick wall maybe like 60 feet by 30 feet and it is filled with cartoon animals riding bikes presumably a celebration of the uh bike lane next to the building yeah no you're probably right about that um
00:03:05
Think Fresh
I've never seen raccoons and bears and rats and caribou get along so well. hu The animal kingdom. they all come in It's kind of like that scene in the Lion King around the watering hole. Yeah, totally. Noah's archetype beat.
00:03:19
Think Fresh
Here we are at our own watering hole of sorts. Yeah, no, you're totally right. As we get down on our knees and sit this pond, you know what I mean? Dude, yeah. An oasis in the desert of Vancouver.
00:03:33
Think Fresh
On a hot day like today. Yeah. ah So, lots happening around here. Hey, lots happening in the city. Summer is turning up. It's a beautiful day. New restaurant opportunity, Eric. ah you You sometimes commute on Hastings Street, right?
00:03:48
Think Fresh
I'm known to frequent Hastings, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. West and East. Yeah, yeah. West and East. There's ah an old Italian restaurant called Cotto over by like Fell Ave. Are you familiar with that? Burnaby, like Hastings Heights area. Cotto. Cotto.
00:04:03
Think Fresh
ah Big old building by a Tim Hortons. Kind looked like a derelict Italian restaurant. Kicked the bucket a few months ago. Tim Hortons. I don't know where the Tim Hortons is on Hastings. It's by my, like a deep cut, my favorite old sushi restaurant, Sushi Town.
00:04:18
Think Fresh
If that rings the bell. Do you know any of my Kensington area, kind of? Oh, yeah, yeah. oh we head We're heading like... East East. Yeah. This is a just downstream from your old campus. Yeah, that's right.
00:04:30
Think Fresh
That's right.
Matty Matheson’s Mac and Cheese Experience
00:04:31
Think Fresh
doesn't really matter if you know where the location is, just know it's on your commute. Old Italian place shut down. It's being revitalized. I drove past it the other day. i was like, what the hell is going in there? So I did some research and a brand new Italian restaurant is opening up in North Burnaby.
00:04:46
Think Fresh
And you know who's designing the menu? Johnny Ive. Even better. chef a real designer chef chapino oh yeah he is coming back with a net new concept as you know the yale town hotbed chapinos has shut shuttered its doors this year but the man doesn't rest he's back in the kitchen dude get down or lay down chapino Exactly. If you ever ever thought Gipino was retiring, you thought wrong. He's so bad. He's so bad. um
00:05:16
Think Fresh
So, cutto in Italian, if I'm not mistaken, means cut or cutlet. Does it? I think so. Well, it doesn't matter. That's the old restaurant. The new restaurant to be called Il Capello, which I have no idea what that means.
00:05:31
Think Fresh
Il Capello. Il Capello. Let's see. I'm just going Google that. Yeah, look that one up. The hat or the hair? Probably the hat because all chefs must wear the Ratatouille style ala chef hat. Yeah, they must wear some kind of hair deterrent. from You know, you don't want your long Italian locks as music bumping car drives by. You don't want your long Italian locks to end up in someone's spaghettini. No, well, dude, I think it's a mark of pride. You know, you don't get in the Michelin Guide with a hatless chef.
00:06:02
Think Fresh
Like, even if the chef is bald, he needs some sort of headwear to like add a regality to his like kind of official presence in the kitchen. And Chef Pino is no stranger to that. And oh, this is a chance for us to plug through the bread heads.
00:06:18
Think Fresh
Chef Pino is alumni of Think Fresh podcast. Most notorious Vancouver chef has graced this mic. So scroll back and check out that episode if you would like. Yeah, when it comes to famous Vancouver chefs, there's really a no comparison to the one and only Mr. Pino Posteraro. Yeah, yeah post um yeah he is he didn't invent the Feeney Burger, but let's give him but give him everything else he's done in his life. You know i mean? Yeah, he still deserves his artichoke flowers.
00:06:48
Think Fresh
Oh, nice. Hell yeah. oh yeah dude um Speaking of notable chefs, Eric, I actually had a really interesting take-home experience the other day. Do you know that ah Toronto native and chef turned film star Matty Matheson?
00:07:03
Think Fresh
Oh, yeah. Familiar name? Yeah. He has a friend of the friend of the pod. sorry We're one degree removed from Matty. Yeah, from Matty Matheson. He has a like, ah like a packaged food company called Matheson Foods.
00:07:17
Think Fresh
Okay. And I was able to cop a box of their Matheson Mac and Cheese. Oh, yeah. it's It's kind of like ah a craft dinner, um mac and cheese mix. same ah Same kind of steps. You know, you boil the water, you add the noodle, you add the powder, it somehow becomes sauce, you eat it. dude, that sounds really good. So are you boiling the pasta separate?
00:07:38
Think Fresh
Isn't that how you always do it? if you really said you're boiling the soft know You just boil the pasta and you boil the past powder add the powder. watch So it is exactly like KD. He like just ripped off KD. Different branding. Looks cool. Dude, that's awesome because I'm going camping this weekend. Maybe I should pick up some of that. Where'd you buy it?
00:07:54
Think Fresh
I found it on the Sunshine Coast. ah So I don't know if you'd be able to cop any. I'm sure that like you didn't buy any. um think should have. It was Bellini things in the same place. Oh, fuck yeah, those are really good. by the way Yeah. So this must have been like a very nice Italian grocery store.
00:08:09
Think Fresh
It was like dabbling in like the right type of like some like gift shops like completely missed the mark. You know, they'll like have like a bunch of. birthday cards that have like minions on them, you know, but this one is like, we're going to, we're going cherry pick from the finest trending, uh,
00:08:28
Think Fresh
cuisine and business business entrepreneurs and bring in some of their best material. Absolutely. I mean, Ty, we're not very far from the gourmet warehouse of Vancouver. Have you ever dabbled this store? Dude, the gourmet warehouse go crazy. fucking love that place. love that.
00:08:44
Think Fresh
think we should swing by and see if they got any extra Maddie, Maddie Katie. Yeah. Maddie's Mac. Maddie's Mac. yeah I love that idea. What's cool about the Gourmet Warehouse and like whatever urban centers equivalent is depending on where you're listening from is that you're going to find so many things infused into other things like that's like an infusion hot spot you know like you're not just getting regular extra virgin olive oil there cold pressed it has to have a little chili flake or like yeah maybe they put a bay leaf in there because they're freaky it's almost impossible to buy a single ingredient there you have to buy something else it's a it's a combo deal you know yeah yeah you're not like there because you want to make cookies you're there because they have like an experiential cookie dough and like
00:09:27
Think Fresh
ah tray a cookie tray that like makes your cookies shaped like starfish or maybe a
00:09:37
Think Fresh
yeah um So the Matheson, Matty Matheson Mac and Cheese, that's a mouthful, literally and figuratively. It's pretty different than your run of the mill crap dinner or Annie's.
00:09:48
Think Fresh
It's like the noodle is like tubular, like kind of like a washer on like that you'd fit on a pipe, you know? So it's a rigatoni, but like a 2D version. Yeah, it's like take rigatoni, it's like a micro
Opinions on Edible Garnishes
00:10:02
Think Fresh
rig, you know? Micro rig.
00:10:04
Think Fresh
Like you take the rigatoni the short way. You know, you take a the... Like a cross section. You just compress it. You just make it like really, really tiny. You know, I'm trying to think of an object that kind of is this shape, like ah like a ring. It's almost like ah like a brass ring you'd put on a finger.
00:10:20
Think Fresh
Right, so kind of like the but Chrome Hearts kind of like wide spacer ring. Dude, exactly that. That's literally, you're just eating mouthfuls of that shit. Wow. So the great thing about rigatoni, Ty, is that it holds the sauce inside the Tony. Yeah, 100%. And this is my biggest challenge with Kraft Dinner because that shit's so long and noodley, the middle of it, if you do a perfect cross section of a nude, it's dry in there.
00:10:45
Think Fresh
There's no way the sauce is going to make it to the core of the noodle. The sauce is thick. You what I mean? It's not going to get in there. It's not getting all the way in. can only penetrate the crust. So is is that something that Matty was able to solve with his proprietary noodle technology?
00:10:59
Think Fresh
Yeah, this is proprietary proportions. And he's right to put IP on this because it was brilliant move. like This shit was sauced up. And I'll give you another like bonus of it. is that the Something about the cheese powder that he did was like...
00:11:15
Think Fresh
10 times is punchier than Annie's. This shit was just like, just back of the mouth, hitting hard, had a little spice, had a little zest, like very flavorful. Well, dude, Annie's famously is baby food.
00:11:28
Think Fresh
It's so mild. Like the white cheddar version of Annie's is like It's you're just it's like milk almost. Yeah, it's true. Even KD, it's got that kind of special je ne sais quoi, that ah preservative tang to it, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, Annie's is the perfect breakup food for that reason. Because it's like when you are when you felt too much that day, you just want to feel numb, feel nothing.
Fishing Adventures and Technology
00:11:50
Think Fresh
just want mush. I just want mush in my stomach. Soothe me.
00:11:53
Think Fresh
yeah That's where Annie's comes in. Annie's is a shoulder to cry on. Yeah, dude. Annie's, she's all ears. She's all ears. Yeah. Thank you, Annie. Oh, fuck. Yeah, but this shit's got some punch. And then I was like looking at the box though.
00:12:07
Think Fresh
I have this fun new game I play where I read the nutritional facts. People don't normally do that. I like to do that. I know. Crazy. Crazy. This shit is called like in one box, like over 50% of your fat for the day, like trans fat. Like it's like 75%.
00:12:24
Think Fresh
It's like the whole thing. Like if you eat this box, you don't get to eat anything else. It's like that's so fatty, so salty. Yeah. Like a little sugar in there too. Like, Oh yeah, dude, yeah du this thing is nutritionally detracting and incredibly bad for you. You cannot live out of it, which makes sense. Like, have you seen Maddie Matheson?
00:12:42
Think Fresh
Yeah. And this is his idea of a meal that checks out. Yeah. He's got to feel that big body of his. Yeah. I guess a tank. Yeah. Okay. So the Maddie Matheson craft dinner or sorry, the Mac and cheese is wouldn't, wouldn't recommend like RFK would be like hard. No on that.
00:13:00
Think Fresh
rfk would be skeptical i'm just curious like what else this guy's got in his inventory um as far as food so i'm gonna pull up you said called it's called matheson foods matheson food maddie's world it's got the book it's got um' I'm in the shop section of this guy this guy's website here.
00:13:19
Think Fresh
He also sells t-shirts. ah Surprisingly if difficult to find the food section of this guy's website. Are you on MathesonFoodCompany.com?
00:13:29
Think Fresh
I'm on MattyMatheson.store. Is that a different web domain? Yeah, this one has an e-commerce platform. Oh, that's what we're doing for. Perfect. This guy's on shop Shopify. Yeah. Cool. Does this look right?
00:13:40
Think Fresh
That looks... Matheson Food Company, original. There's Cracked Pep Pep. Oh, dude. Nothing like getting cracked off the pep. Yeah, this is the one. There's Creamy Smokey Mac, Creamy Sharp Ched. This guy's designing his labels like he's ah just one of the guys, you know?
00:13:55
Think Fresh
Dude, this is like... I bet whatever agency, creative agency made this website packaging was like having a field day. They're like, we know exactly what you want. It's giving like 1940s, like stay at home mom kind of like aesthetic. You know i mean? a little bit like post war post ration. Like we're just starting to find ourselves again. Yeah, we don't want to do too much. We haven't quite invented ah vector art.
00:14:23
Think Fresh
I haven't invented vector art. This is a simpler time. Yeah. Procter and Gamble just recently pivoted from making guns to like toothpaste. Was you like baby food from the gun company? Yeah. yeah They're no longer making tanks, but now they're making your maple molasses sauce.
00:14:39
Think Fresh
but Yeah, exactly. So you're right. It's like a bygone era when people weren't concerned about what was in their food. They were just concerned about whether they were going to have a meal. Yeah. And I think that's kind of the the visual design is what it's appealing to, actually.
00:14:53
Think Fresh
I really like this ad here. It says, not a McRib, and then in brackets, it is. Oh. Man, more questions than answers coming out of that. Man, Matty Matheson, come on the pod.
00:15:04
Think Fresh
Yeah, facts, if you're listening. Sweet visual design, though. Yeah, i I'm into this. Makes me want to eat more. Okay, great, Ty. So I have to actually do some food shopping this week for my camping trip.
00:15:15
Think Fresh
here on campus. Yeah, I'm going to try to going to hit up this gourmet warehouse today. um Look for some like what? Dehydrated rice? That's all rice. I'm hoping to have some kind of gourmet minute rice that I can use. dude All rice is dehydrated. I don't know why I said that.
00:15:30
Think Fresh
I guess you're right. But some of it takes longer to cook and I don't have that much fuel with me to cook rice for 30 minutes. So I'm going to try to do something that's a little bit faster. I'm thinking I'm going to go with a Japanese curry.
00:15:44
Think Fresh
See if I can make some of that up there on the mountaintop. That's my second favorite type of curry after Indian curry. Thai curry is last. here The namesake curry is last. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just feel like they use too much lemongrass.
00:15:59
Think Fresh
Yeah, I'm not a fan of green anything. I just feel like lemongrass is like, smells great, just a terrible eating experience. I disagree, dude. you I mean, you've ever had lemongrass chicken, so I'll give you a pass.
00:16:10
Think Fresh
but like a fucking horse when I'm eating it, you know, like chewing on hay. Lemongrass itself, yeah, not good, but lemongrass marinated chicken, Vietnamese style, very good. Yeah, the flavor infusion, objectively delicious. it's It's the actual, like, when they, like, put it as a garnish. I'm always thinking with the, gar like you know, like, are you pro or anti-garnish consumption?
00:16:32
Think Fresh
Is the real question here. I don't believe in garnishes that can be eaten. Yeah, I mean, why are you putting anything on the food that can't be eaten? I agree. I agree completely. Like when when there's a little flour in the cocktail that's not edible and i eat it anyway and I regret it. and And then I have like some kind of rare leukemia develop. 100 percent.
00:16:53
Think Fresh
I think the only exception is when you're adding a garnish to a cocktail for aromatics only. But I think they should specify that when it comes to the table. Otherwise, everything should be edible. I don't even like when there's a rind, you know? Like, if they give me, like, a slice of lemon on the side of my table-side Caesar... just But it's just the skin, right?
00:17:13
Think Fresh
ah They give me, like, a little thing to squeeze myself, but that's going to leave an inedible rind. If that that is the case, don't give it to me. Squeeze it for me and take it away. Those should be thrown across the room after you squeeze them. Yeah, totally.
00:17:25
Think Fresh
at the back your server's head boneless wing or boneless wings great like i don't like the idea of like you have to leave a bone on the plate when you're not that's crazy you should be able to eat everything on the plate no dude boneless wings we've strayed too far from god's light you know i mean if we gotta to eat a wing like i gotta have some evidence that i've eaten the wing i mean the evidence is your uh fat tommy and smiling face There's that, but I also want to see a graveyard on my plate. I guess so.
00:17:54
Think Fresh
Two different schools of thought there. Totally. or like ah just a huge pile of fish bones. nothing and Nothing makes you feel like a man more than like a huge pile of bones on your plate. Yeah, I totally understand that. But I feel like if you're eating a meal, the philosophy should be that you can lick the plate and there is you get you get to eat 100% of what they're serving you. Otherwise, it's like it's like when they water down your drink with ice.
00:18:15
Think Fresh
you know it's ah ah just They're selling you something you can't have. You can have the ice, Ty. Yeah, but you can't eat the bones. I don't know. Got a UPS driver going by.
00:18:29
Think Fresh
Oh yeah, baby. We're potting in public today. We're my pickup. Here comes the dump truck. Yeah, we're just going to let this one kind of squeak by. Rush hour is starting right now. Squeak, squeak. Ah, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock. Okay.
00:18:46
Think Fresh
Right as thanks for participating in traffic with us. See what the back of that truck says Eric? It says follow me for your next great meal. It's a food delivery truck. Wow you see that?
00:18:57
Think Fresh
i think it was a chicken on the bone there. Yeah it was chicken on the bone. Yeah that's not a great meal to me. That's That's a scam. But I did follow one of those trucks once. I was hungry. I was alone.
00:19:08
Think Fresh
I saw that truck. It said, follow me to your next great meal. So I did. You know where it took me? To a Bilo Foods. So close. A Wendy's. Oh, wow. Yeah. And that's how i discovered that Wendy has a veggie burger.
00:19:18
Think Fresh
That's kind of cool. Happy for you. Yeah. So if you see one of those trucks drive by and it says it has a call to action like that, you must obey. Mm-hmm. Ty, I need to talk to you about how I'm building off of my outdoor boys lore this is week.
00:19:34
Think Fresh
you ah in In preparation for your camping trip. preparation for my camping trip, exactly. You're so camping-pilled right now, dude. All I want to do is fucking sleep next to a fire. um But no, I went fishing on the weekend. I'm a fisherman now, Ty.
00:19:49
Think Fresh
Yeah, no way. Rod or did you catch things with your hands? Rod and hand. It was it was first rod and then you got to use your hands after that.
00:19:59
Think Fresh
Rod and hand has kind of a like phallic interpretation. the rot I'm part of the rod and hand club. Yeah, I'm sick with the rod. yeah um But anyways, yeah, caught a nice little tiny little bass.
00:20:11
Think Fresh
Good for you. You're a real catch and release guy. Yeah, i'm a catch release guy. I've got heart. You're super I'm just a sport fisherman. yeah no I've got a heart. i can't If it's too little, you know i mean I resisted the urge to cook it on the spot.
00:20:27
Think Fresh
um But I ended up tossing this little guy back. And I think next time what I'll do, Ty, is I'm going to bring a portable stove with me and a knife and just gut the motherfucker on the spot. the spot, dude. Squeeze a little lime and salt on that bad boy. Sashimi. Both sides sashimi. Yeah, dude.
00:20:46
Think Fresh
It's pretty funny because we went fishing. I went fishing with my parents and we caught one fish, threw it back, and then drank seven beers. Yo, that's what fishing's all about, dude. It's just getting outside with a six pack of beers.
00:21:02
Think Fresh
ideally leave no trace yeah we were we were so drunk that we lost like several lines like on the tree besides so my question to you is okay sober is fish like obviously drunk is a hard sport but is fishing a hard sport sober i don't know if it's about it being difficult it's more about like is it hard to catch a fish ah it's a difficult answer ty okay a simple answer because you could be but most dumb fisherman on earth i am likewise and it won't matter if you're in the in the best possible spot at the best possible time oh timing is everything with the fisherman timing and uh season location location location that's what they tell me that's right that's what the real estate agents will tell you uh
00:21:52
Think Fresh
that That's super true, in my opinion. If you are fishing in a place without fish, you won't catch anything. But fishing somewhere where the fish are hungry, you know what mean? they' maybe the government of British Columbia has just stalked that lake, which is real thing, which I find hilarious. That's crazy that they stalk lakes.
00:22:09
Think Fresh
That doesn't make any sense. know, that's so funny. But if you actually, I don't look at that shit. It's kind of like, you know, looking at the questions before trivia night. Yeah, you're ruining the game. Yeah, exactly. I don't want to rehearse this. I want to go in there and...
00:22:22
Think Fresh
not know anything and then get it right. It makes you realize that when you find out like lakes are stocked and like a street cleaner fixes up this road every single night that like the world we live in is this like Disneyland-esque environment to like a figment of our imagination subsidized by our taxpayer money. Yeah, it's annoying when I can't have one unique experience, let alone like someone stalking the lake cause I can fish it in it. It seems crazy. You put the fish in, I take the fish out. It's a simple simple concept.
00:22:53
Think Fresh
yeah I'm a simple man. so you're blasted off seven or eight beers. You're catching a little tiny bass. What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday.
00:23:04
Think Fresh
um yeah. Beautiful day. um Yeah. It's pretty funny because I went to, not to dox myself, but I went to a certain university that is a Christian university.
00:23:16
Think Fresh
You did? Yeah. This is news to me, dude. No, it was just for fishing. They have a pond beside it. Oh, you were fishing? I didn't study the teachings of Jesus Christ. You trespassed on like a Bible school to fish in their man-made lake? You're right. I didn't even for parking.
00:23:32
Think Fresh
Yeah. um but turns out they they had a great spot there for fishing they saw like a few other people fishing which is always a good sign yeah um we started out in a river and it was just too fast you know our rod couldn't handle that dude yeah it's hard to keep up with that yeah on a slow day yeah we went to the over this like lake slash pond and uh it was it was yeah good good catches happening we didn't stay there for very long it was getting late but i feel like we could have caught a couple You got to get one of those like two-man shell aluminum shell boats.
00:24:04
Think Fresh
Just like a little tiny motor barely operates, the tin ones. I think that's such a cool look when a dude just like is sitting on there with his rod, really sad. It's a really sad kind of vibe.
00:24:16
Think Fresh
Yeah, and the and the good thing is like you don't if you don't have a motor on that thing, that means you can drink as many beers as you want. Yeah, youre you are not liable for whatever happens. And also you're isolated. You're not going to cause anyone any problems, nor can they cause you. I can't even reach one knot.
00:24:31
Think Fresh
You know what mean? It's like I'm stationary. Dude, yeah, you're just floating. Yeah. what ah I think there's kind of like ah a side of every man that just ah fantasizes about that, just being alone in a little aluminum can in the middle of a quiet pond.
00:24:45
Think Fresh
Yeah. 14 of your closest friends. yeah By that mean beers. I totally agree. Yeah. How do you feel about fishing? Like philosophically, like would you ever do it? Have you done it?
00:24:59
Think Fresh
I've never done it. I come from a long line of hobbyist fishermen, ah but I've never dabbled. I did as a kid. I've thrown a few lines, but didn't really like it. I'm an impatient man,
Fishing Ethics and Regulations
00:25:09
Think Fresh
Eric. I need to be multitasking to really enjoy myself.
00:25:11
Think Fresh
yeah And the only type of multitasking I know of Like the old world of fishing, actually, I'm yapping a lot. I would like to just tell you how I feel about fishing. Please. Okay. I think fishing is ready for disruption. No, it's not, dude. It's the oldest like tradition hobby in the world.

Well, that was because fishing used to be lame as hell when all you had to do was just stand there holding the rod and then like a cigarette or a beer, you know, you just like do that for hours. But now fishing has this new unlock with mobile phones where you can just like scroll and scroll and scroll while you're waiting to catch a fish.
00:25:45
Think Fresh
So you enable this like new level of day-to-day brain rot where you can like forgive the brain rot because you're actually fishing. You know like I can be swiping through TikTok, I can be soliciting people to send me crypto.
00:26:03
Think Fresh
Maybe you're on Bumble. I don't know. As a bumblebee flies by. but Ty, this is the whole beauty of getting outside and touching grass. you know I mean? Getting away from your phone.
00:26:13
Think Fresh
Just paying close attention to the little buoy. Sitting out there in the water. Seeing if it dips underwater. So you gotta to catch um hanging out with your mates. Cracking a few beers.
00:26:24
Think Fresh
that is maybe Maybe one of your dumb friends falls in the water. like That's that's like the whole point of fishing. And how great would it be if you could capture that on film? 4K. Sure, if you want to wear the meta spectacles, then be my guest. but I caught that on Ray-Ban.
00:26:39
Think Fresh
Shot Facebook. yeah shot on facebook yeah I just feel like you're acting a little bit dumb and regressive right now because you are sleeping on the opportunity to use fishing as a fantastic time to just have uninterrupted scrolling. Because you know what?
00:26:55
Think Fresh
You know who's never going to be near, like yeah on the aluminum wrap with you? A woman. So which means you don't have to listen. you don't have to talk. You just can scroll.
00:27:05
Think Fresh
yeah You can reel in with one hand and reels with the other. That's clever, but that's what it boils for, Ty. I lock myself in the bathroom and do all the nice scrolling. Oh, yeah, and you get the sore knees by the end of it.
00:27:19
Think Fresh
No, but, I mean, that's another... i mean once you've sold me stop selling you know i mean like no girls like that sounds great that sounds awesome leave the ball and chain at home yeah leave the ball and chain pick up the the cord and handle yeah dude some nylon and rod nylon and rod dude nothing like the rod and hand club yeah dude i even went and bought like three worms from the store yeah it was fun i found i found a worm on the ground and i used that that was like You got a worm on the ground? found a worm on the ground. Bear Grylls over here. Holy shit. Yeah, dude. Call me Luke from the Outdoor Boys. I'm i'm fishing with some shit that I caught.
00:27:59
Think Fresh
That's how i feel every time I'm on a walk and I see like ah like a raspberry, a blackberry bush or something. yeah I feel like Bear Grylls like taking a single blackberry off the plant. Yeah, and you have food poisoning for two weeks.
00:28:09
Think Fresh
Yeah, it's not worth it. Not built for that, Eric. But I i would fish. i think I like the idea if I'm going to eat a fish, I might as well work for it. Yeah, totally.
00:28:20
Think Fresh
I think you yeah you'd feel pretty good about it. You'd catch it, fillet it in the most humane way possible. yeah yeah you know like I imagine getting caught is traumatic, but like the time between getting caught and being sold at the fish market is like a long time.
00:28:36
Think Fresh
So you're surere you're forcing the fish to live in this time period where it's just unhappy. But if you put it out its misery by putting it on your portable stove immediately, yeah I don't see any problem with that. Totally. like You don't want all these POWs in a tank at the...
00:28:52
Think Fresh
yeah The farmer's market. Yeah, exactly. Sitting on ice. Yeah, Pike Place. Yeah, getting tossed. Getting tossed around like a plunk of meat. Yeah.
00:29:05
Think Fresh
Being passed to the homie. Yeah, dude. Fishing is a wonderful, wonderful time. And the best thing is, if you don't catch anything, it's just as fun as if you caught something. Still a win, hey? Yeah.
00:29:16
Think Fresh
yeah You can go home feeling good because you drink nine beers. You drink nine beers. You had two sandwiches. You got a sunburn. You got a sunburn. And you started a body of water. Yeah. Sometimes you just got to look at the horizon, you know? It's cold, man.
00:29:33
Think Fresh
Woo-wee. Well, ah maybe I'll that happen this summer. do you I gotta get a license. License to kill. That's right. Well, I'd search to get on it immediately because the license is reset in April.
00:29:47
Think Fresh
So like if you buy a license in March, it only lasts for a month. No. Yeah. so ah you have to get it at the start of the season. Oh, it's one season. Yeah. It's like Fortnite. Yeah.
00:29:58
Think Fresh
You got to get the saltwater DLC and then the freshwater dc Yeah. Yeah. I got both. So. So you're licensed to kill at any body water. That's right. It's a whole. Yeah. but brief body water for Not a single fish is safe. That's right. Yeah.
00:30:15
Think Fresh
kind of interesting because it's a very like regulated sport as well, especially here in BC. like There's so many rules about like what you can catch, when you can catch it. yeah You got to pay special, get a special add-on for your license if you want to catch a certain kind of salmon a certain type of time a year.
00:30:33
Think Fresh
All of which doesn't matter if you're native or native. You can do whatever fuck you want. Cool. It's kind of cool. I protected that. Yeah. um But yeah, you got to do your research, you know, but I got my licenses. I'm ready to fish. Your recent research too, it seems like. Yeah. Yeah. you're too I just know that i need to look before I catch. like I have to like, I know that there's rules. I don't know all the rules.
00:30:54
Think Fresh
Yeah. So you pull the fish out of the water and then you pull your phone and you use the Gemini app to scan the fish and give you some information on it. I did exactly that, Ty. And I was able to identify the fish that you had. You actually used AI like... Yo, that's kind of funny.
00:31:11
Think Fresh
Yeah, because glad we had no idea what the fuck we caught. um But i asked ChatGPT and it was a largemouth bass. No way, you caught a micropertura salminoidus?
00:31:22
Think Fresh
It sounds like a certain kind of flesh-eating disease, but yes, I did catch that. Wow, a small-sized largemouth bass. That's cool. Kind of contradictory. Kind of contradictory in a descriptive way.
00:31:35
Think Fresh
Yeah. That's sick that you can use it for that. I should be taking sending more pictures to the internet to get answers. Yeah, I know. Next, we're to obviously get another round of beer. And well after we do, I'm going to take a photo of and see if they can ID what type of beer it is based off the tint.
00:31:51
Think Fresh
Whoa, yeah. Yeah, yeah. You think I could do it? Yellow or brown? Yellow or brown, baby. Well, on that note, Ty, I think it's time for us to wrap up. Yeah, I can't hold my yellow or my brown, so. Yeah, let's saddle up here while we get another pint going. Hell yeah.
00:32:04
Think Fresh
Thanks for listening, Breadheads. Take care, everybody. Ciao.
